Description
Tattered remnants of shattered stars. A thousand galaxies in one outstanding photograph of a miniscule portion of sky. Saturn's rings up-close and personal. The rolling multi-hued cloud bands of Jupiter. These impressive wonders of the universe, captured by the cameras of talented amateur astronomers, the Hubble Space Telescope, and unmanned probes, are presented here in brilliant high-resolution color. This 12-image collection was compiled by stargazing authority Terence Dickinson, author of NightWatch, who brings a wealth of practical experience to the calendar's daily diary of predicted celestial events, ranging from meteor showers to eclipses.
